Quoted: Made in Japan was a result of WWII, and our attempts to rebuild their country afterward, the profit margins began with “the greatest generation ever”. Many manufacturing industries just switched from war time production to consumer goods. Look at companies like Mitsubishi, Yamaha, and others. Plus let’s not forget who was the consumers, yup, Americans right after the war wanted cheaper goods, from textiles to electronics and they turned to Japan for them. Same with Germany, it wasn’t boomers buying those products, it was those who fought in the war and their families. View Quote The worst part about the boomertardians, besides the demands for reparations, are the fractured fairytales of post WWII history. It's like watching the "Un defeats Charlie Chaplin" scene from Idiocracy. |

I'll never understand how that tard built the following he did. yhe acts like living on a piece of property a little way from town is some "homesteader" shit. He went full derp during the 2020 Labor Day fires. At this point he has apparently inflated himself to the point he can continually give opinions and generate millions of views.

A bit of an over generalization imo. We have way more chit and funny money flying around than the boomers ever had in their prime. This is a political and economic problem caused by deindustrialization, globalism, and the consumer/service based economic view that started in the 70s when the boomers were just getting started. How is it their fault?
If I have any problem with them, generally speaking of course, it’s the old former hippies who turned into boot licking big government lovers and the tendency of many of them to dislike being called old or gracefully go into retirement. They just keep hanging on to their positions into their 70s and refuse to allow guys in their 40s and 50s take over. Also during covid many of them bought the msm news bullshit hook line and sinker and were afraid to leave their houses or even hug their grandchildren, just weak and pathetic. |

Quoted: I can’t wait for all those complaining about us boomers not giving up our wealth to lead by example. I’m sure they’ll drop everything to buy their kids whatever they want, and once they hit 65 they’ll all turn over their wealth to their kids and go live in nursing homes. Right? View Quote We've actually talked about this, and if we build another house we may keep the one we have now for the kids to live in while they start their young families and save up, or we might just give it to one of them if they need it. My dad scoffed at the idea of "spoiling" them like that. We were broke as fuck in our 20's and it was a hard fight out. If I can help prevent that situation for my own kids it might be worth doing. |

Quoted: The males and females your generation raised. The females your generation married. >send kids to college to study anything they want >are surprised when their kids become leftoids due to college View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: He's not wrong for the most part. Boomers embraced globalization, offshoring, hyper-consumerism, dual income households, abortions, ridiculous hiring qualifications, mass immigration to lower the cost of labor, the mentality that everyone should go to college, etc. Now, at the end of their lives, they've embraced welfare and ponzi schemes. As a whole, they made decisions that benefited them at the expense of all future generations. This should go without saying, but this doesn't apply to every single boomer. I'm not saying that you personally ruined America. However, when viewed on a generational level, the above assessment is accurate. I would disagree with the assessment that the so-called "greatest generation" is worthy of that title, though. They voted for FDR numerous times, and once they got into government, they made truly horrendous decisions. My personal perspective is that every single generation since the Civil War has contributed to the decline of America, to varying degrees. What rubs people the wrong way about boomers is that they act as though they're god's gift to the world, refuse to acknowledge that disastrous shit happened and continues to happen under their watch, and believe that every generation after them is a bunch of pussies who don't hold a candle to the hardship they endured. Gotta love how "Boomers" get blamed for every single thing Beta males and women voters accomplished. The males and females your generation raised. The females your generation married. >send kids to college to study anything they want >are surprised when their kids become leftoids due to college Raised? Almost every GenX'er in my neck of the woods was a latchkey kid by about age 7-8 and had free reign from sun up until the street lights came on (or longer). Actually that was probably a better parenting model than what we've seen over the last few generations. Most of the guys in my old group became successful or at least comfortable, less than half went to college and all are very conservative leaning. |

Quoted: I've noticed a lot of "stop whining" responses around here lately. (No "g" in "whining" by the way) In my experience, most of the times I've heard someone use a response like that its when someone has no actual response to a valid argument or complaint. It's one step up from an ad hominem attack. We are pretty much completely polarized and divided. And "our" side is so divided we don't even really have a "side" anymore. Well done, fellas. View Quote In some parts of America and Canada, and in the rest of the English speaking world, Whining is a noise a dog makes, etc. Whinging is exactly correct for lots of America and Canada call whining.

If you ask me the majority of Boomers have flat out acted like some kind of occupying power towards the younger generations. As a Gen Xer, my biggest regret as a generation is that we didn't rise up and put our foot down when we were young. |

Just a symptom. Allowing women and non-landowners a vote was the death knell.

I don’t know who this Stranglewar guy is but if you’re busy pointing fingers at other entire generations (no matter how richly they deserve it), you’re not busy working to fix it.
Pointing fingers is easy. Being paid money (I assume he’s monetizing the video) to point fingers is even easier. |

My primary goal in life was not amassing wealth.
And yet I have been paying over twice the median annual household income in federal income tax for over the past decade. Yes, I had liberal college professors. One earned her Ph.D. tracing Viking myth and legends and oral histories that had been passed from Normans and recorded by 14th century troubadours and trouveres in Occitan and in old Provençal French, translating it back into Norman, and the root northern Germanic / Old Norse, and then into English while keeping the original meter. She was brilliant. Her anti-war protesting in the 60s were of zero impact in the classroom. I also had a comparative religion professor who was a master of the rise and fall of empires and religion’s role in their rise and fall. He was a socialist that believed in universal healthcare and basic income decades before it was in the common lexicon. With zero impact on my worldview. I had a Biology professor who was also a socialist who was a proponent of special programs for minority education to pull their best and brightest into magnet schools. Zero impact on my knowledge of Biology. On the other hand, I had an Armenian Physics professor who barely made it here as a child with pretty extreme views regarding a specific ethic/religious group, a Swiss German P-Chem professor who hated Nazis and Communists, a Cuban Biochem professor who hated communists, and a WWII infantry officer vet English professor and Shakespeare world renown expert who was the best teacher of anything I have ever had who was of the country club, yachting, golf, tennis, WASP variety and investing/capitalist type. I also had a Calculus Professor and a Classics Professors, and a Zoology one that all seemed very not cool with the proto-woke, politically correct nonsense that was starting to creep in. It’s possible to be educated, make money, etc. concurrently. And a true education is not just a tech school for a job. |

In part due to the credentialism-spiral. Yes. In 1940 a traditional four year degree graduate made up only about 5% of adults, and the average cognitive ability was about 1sd above the mean higher than it is now. There were essentially no graduates below 1sd above the mean. Now it’s almost 40% of adults. With about 40% below 1sd above the mean. Many incapable of and with no math higher than a basic high school freshman algebra or statistics class. Degree creep has seen, say, engineering tech go from a year certificate, to associates, to bachelors. Or physical therapist from bachelors to DPT. And MBAs meaning highly intelligent math versed to programs with not GMAT or math pre-reqs. Nobody is going to knock out a serious degree that is not bright, but there sure are a lot of not serious degrees now. In a non-production, non-manufacturing, non-wealth generating economy higher education has become much like re-selling stuff made in China, re-selling mortgages, residential rentals, etc. Simply a way to make a lot of money for some. |
